Overview
Khoradyn Kaldaryn is the previous-cycle Khoradyn who cofounds Thalassai. He escapes old Xalmyrra with Orin, Therion, and Xandor during the refugee flight, becomes the first archon of Earth, and founds Thalmyris.
In the current cycle, Khoradyn also comes from Keldara, crosses into Valrindor, and founds Kaldaryn there.
Authority and Magic
Khoradyn is the first archon of Earth. His title gives earth rule an archon office from Thalassai's founding.
History
In the ancient Xalmyrran cycle, Khoradyn of Keldara stands with Aldred, Orin, Therion, and Xandor when Jorhan returns from the western island with a spiral shard and declares that the atraxi will rule the world. Khoradyn leaves with them while Belanor remains with the fleeing civilians.
After the Xalmyrran refugees reach Xolterra, Khoradyn and Orin refuse the gods' rule and take their people south. Orin becomes the first archon of Time and founder of Chronasis, while Khoradyn becomes the first archon of Earth and founder of Thalmyris.
After a long and prosperous life, archon of Earth Khoradyn Kaldaryn dies. Orin writes of Khoradyn's death while reaffirming that no god will rule Thalassai, preserving the anti-divine stance in the country's oldest politics.
